>> it depends really what mcconnell and reid really broker. if it's something that's a good deal that we can move to the new year and start looking at structural entitlement reform, then we'll take it. i completely disagree with alexis, by the way. the president is not showing leadership with this deal. what he's trying to do is push the blame on the house republicans and break them. he's not interested in just winning this issue. he's interested in getting his agenda through which includes more regulation, gun control possibly, and immigration reform. all he wants to do is win the blame game. he's not interested in leadership because if he was interested in leadership, he would have brokered from the beginning in good faith and because he just ignores entitlement reform, he's kidding himself. >> heather: alexis, i'll let you respond to that. because when it comes to spending cuts, president obama says his own, his own words, quote, lays the groundwork for that in the future. the last big budget deal in the summer of 2011, it ended with precis

senator harry reid has not passed budgets. president obama's budgets have been voted on 3 times, the final vote tally, 0-610. so getting back to your first question, have i seen a plan out of this president that would be an obvious yes from us? i haven't seen any specific plan. all i have seen is demagoguery and a few numbers thrown out, whether it's $800 billion over 10 years or $1 of revenue for $3 of spending cuts, but nothing specific that we need to see to hammer this thing out. >> he says the onus is on congress, this is your job to get done. he said in the clip we just had, if it doesn't get done, the people who are going to pay are the senior who is will lose out on benefits that they are enjoying. is that an accurate representation of what will happen? >> no! this country needs presidential leadership. the house has passed two budgets that would spend $7 trillion less than what president obama's budgets were proposed at. again, remember president obama's budgets didn't get a vote from a member of his own party. we do

i think the senate -- senator reid is amazing at gettin' republican votes on things when he needs to get it. this is one of the times where he'll need to get it because speaker boehner will not be able to pass anything with the majority of his caucus as proved last week. i think there will be enough pressure not to be the one going over the cliff. 'cause if they waiting to over the cliff, there will be more democratic votes in the senate, more democratic votes in the house. and they could quickly get to fixing the tax problem a day or two after the new congress is sworn in on thursday the 3rd. >> arthel: as michael alluded to, the wheeling and dealing, we know it's going on on both sides of the aisle, burr there is also that intraparty negotiations that's happening. so what would you see are the deal breakers inside the democratic party as well as inside the gop party? >> listen, i really think that they should look at this and look at the fact that when you raise taxes, people have less money to spend. you're harming the middle class, the class that obama is claiming that he wants t
